Computing Support for Primary Schools

A creative approach to the Computing Curriculum for primary schools

Our aim at ComputerXplorers is to introduce children to as wide a range of technology as possible, foster in them an enthusiasm for its benefits and develop technology skills that will stay with them for life - both at school and beyond.

In essence, we aim to prepare children for the future.

Great computing alternatives for PPA cover in primaries

We work with schools in a variety of ways that can be tailored to the individual needs of the school and the children, whether that means meeting the requirements of an imaginative 'extended schools' strategy with after school activities stretching beyond the bounds of a standard 'computer club' or an added value solution for PPA cover or a one-off workshop tailored to a particular topic or specific groups of children. All fantastic at boosting those all-important STEM skills!

Coding, 3D animation, augmented reality, app development, video game programming - designed for primary school children

ComputerXplorers children have such fun they don't even realise just how much they are learning: programming, creativity, storytelling, collaboration, problem solving, animation, web design, coding, forensic science, logic, video game design, 3D, augmented reality - the list is endless!

The benefits of computational thinking for primary school children

" 'Computational thinking' is a skill children must be taught if they are to be ready for the workplace and able to participate effectively in this digital world" says Simon Peyton-Jones, Chairman of Computing at School. It's long been recognised by Ofsted that 'Pupils respond very positively to the use of ICT, they engage well with lessons, their behaviour is good and their attitudes to learning are very good'. They are sentiments that are central to our approach to every computing class we deliver. Whether that is a coding class or an animation workshop.
